Kinasuhan ng Tanggapan ng Ombudsman ang isang dating mayor at ngayo’y miyembro ng Sangguniang Bayan sa Iloilo bunsod ng conflict of interest.
Dalawang counts ng kasong graft o paglabag sa Section 3(h) ng Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act ang ibinalandra laban kay dating mayor Rufino Palabrica III ng Dingle, Iloilo dahilan sa conflict of interest sa pagitan ng official duties at business interest.
“Palabrica issued a business permit and lease contract in favor of Farmacia Francisca, a drug store and medical clinic he owns. Documents showed that Palabrica signed the January 2013 lease contract both as lessor and lessee,” ayon sa isinasaad ng pitong pahinang resolusyon ng Ombudsman.
